Final reminder! Tomorrow at Noon Eastern: Christine Seeman tackles the real questions Ruby engineers are asking about AI integration. From prompting to code review workflows - this is your chance to level up your AI-assisted development without compromising on the Ruby principles that matter.

The WNB.rb community is all about thoughtful, intentional development! September 30th, Noon Eastern, we're exploring how to use AI tools while keeping our Ruby code elegant and readable. Because the best developers know when to embrace new tools and when to stick to what makes Ruby special.

You know Ruby. You've experimented with AI. Now what? The real challenge isn't getting AI to generate code—it's getting it to generate *good* Ruby code that you'd actually want to maintain. #Ruby #AI #Performance #WNBrb

Meet Christine Seeman! Ruby enthusiast and lifetime learner from Omaha, NE, solving complex problems with the small but mighty team at SOFware. When she's not writing code, reading too many scifi/fantasy books. 🔗 RSVP: discord.gg/bd9ZHBB8?eve... #RubyOnRails #AI #WomenInTech #WNBrb
